Pedantically -- SellErs. As to his post-goon career: he set off in different direction & became one of most distinguished of actors. Not only comedy like Clouseau or the 3 distinct characterisations in Stangelove; but parts like Quilty in that iffy version of Lolita -- they chickened out of playing her as a 12-y-o, but made her a busty late-teen, which robbed the perverse fable of its main point; but Sellers was great even so; made excellent foil to the also v good James Mason. I'd say he reached even more rarefied heights then than in Goons, which I always found a slightly OTT self-indulgent trying-too-hard laugh-fest, at which I never actually laughed v much. Always much preferred Take It From Here at the time. But that clearly a matter of taste.
